Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
From the safecat README: safecat is an implementation of D. J. Bernstein's maildir algorithm. It can be used to write mail messages to a qmail-style maildir, or to write data to a "spool" directory reliably. There are no lockfiles with safecat, and nothing is left to chance. If safecat returns a successful exit status, then you can be (practically) 100% sure your data is safely committed to disk. Further, if data is written to a directory using safecat (or other implementations of the maildir algorithm), then every file in that directory is guaranteed to be complete. If safecat fails to write all of the data, there will be no file at all in the destination directory. Of course, you know that such a thing cannot be: between UNIX and the different hardware options available, a 100% guarantee is not possible. However, safecat takes every precaution possible in writing your data.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

sysutils/safecat: avoid duplicating object files in library

Previously byte_copy.o and str_len.o were added to str.a, and then
specified as objects on the safecat link command line along with str.
When linking with lld this produces duplicate symbol errors like:

/usr/bin/ld: error: duplicate symbol: byte_copy
>>> defined at byte_copy.c
>>>            byte_copy.o:(byte_copy) in archive str.a
>>> defined at byte_copy.c
>>>            byte_copy.o(.text+0x0)

As these symbols are provided by str.a just avoid listing the object
files as well.
